For much of the 20th century the modernist city was articulated in
terms of narratives of progress and development. Today the
neoliberal city confronts us with all the cultural 'noise' of
disorder and excess meaning. As this book demonstrates, for more
than 40 years London-based writer, film-maker and
'psychogeographer' Iain Sinclair has proved to be one of the most
incisive commentators on the contemporary city: tracing the
emerging contours of a metropolis where the meeting of global and
local is never without incident. Iain Sinclair: Noise,
Neoliberalism and the Matter of London explores Sinclair's
investigations into the nature of conflicting urban realities
through an examination of the ways in which the noise of neoliberal
excess intersects with the noise of literary experiment. In this
way, the book casts new light on theorisations of the city in the
contemporary era.
